So much to do so little time. I will add photos when I get completely set up.

I am here and working my derriere off getting my apartment set up. Everything here takes twice as long, and there is so much bureaucracy/red tape, and everything is twice as expensive. But it is great fun on the minutes that I am not overwhelmed. I go from elation to overwhelmed/scared to excitement etc. etc.

My apartment is really cute, but like my sister said, “You cannot smell over the internet” and yes, the former tenants smoked. I will have to paint. Again, I promise to put pictures in as soon as I get set up with internet at home.

I have a very gracious hostess, my former English teacher who will be retiring next year. She has taken us to Ikea for shopping, what an experience THAT was. She also took us to a Labyrinth in the Ardennes on Sunday. It was acres of corn fields made into a giant dragon maze. We had a great time and got to see some of the country. We passed the famous Lion of Waterloo on the way. I have been there before, but will be going there again soon I hope. We don’t have a car yet so we are pretty reliable on others so far. We can walk to school in about 20 minutes and our apartment is in downtown Waterloo Center so everything we might need is close.

I really need to get to my classroom clean up, so take care everyone until I get a chance to update again. Please keep the comments and emails coming, I love to hear from you, and here is my new address.

Chausee de Bruxelles 197

1410 Waterloo, Belgium
